It’s time for another busy box idea, and I’m so excited about this one! It’s all about measuring, and it’s got the most adorable fall pictures for your kiddos to measure! This is a new addition to my busy box repertoire, and I can’t wait to hear what you think about it! (And, if right now you’re thinking OK Stephanie, This looks like fun and all, but what in the world is a busy box???  Then you definitely want to go take a look at my post about apple-themed busy boxes! I give quite a bit of explanation in that post!)

Before we get started, we need to make sure you’ve got everything you need! Here’s a short list of what you’ll need to prep this activity:

Now that you’ve got all of your supplies, we’re ready to get started!

 

Measuring Height & Width

There are two sets of measuring cards in this set. One is for measuring height…

Measuring Options

Or, once your kiddos are ready to move away from using objects as their measuring tool, you can teach them to use  a ruler that has nonstandard units of measure on it. And, I’ve included some of those with the measuring cards! (If you teach older kiddos, you could also have them use a standard ruler to measure!)
